Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!” After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed. However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.
By the time Chu Yang and Mo Tianji left the inn, the sky had already turned dark but the moon was not out yet.
Chu Yang gazed into the darkness of the night and began to ask himself: Could it be that because of this, Mo Tianji would be able to get the sense of mastering the world, eventually becoming known as the Master of Calculation and Manipulation?
Within Heavenly Armament Pavilion, four young men were training voraciously. The appearance and attitude of the five today had been completely different from before. All of them were now overflowing with energy.
The past few days, they had trained to the point of addiction. Having three extreme breakthroughs every day now was something they could no longer do without. In addition, they felt that sparring with one another also helped them a lot in terms of improving their respective techniques.
